Chevrolet Blazer GMC Jimmy Transmission Problems

| I had a auto repair shop remove, rebuild and replace the transmission in my 1998 F-150 Ford pick up and it cost $1600 including a new torque converter and I thought that was a little high. I paid it anyway because the shop was recommended by a person who had a transmission replaced there. The cost of removing, rebuilding and replacing any model of passenger car or pick up transmission is about the same price. A price of $3,000 is far too high. You can do better than that at neary any repair shop. I have never heard of a rebuilt transmission costing more than $1800 including a new torque converter. The additional labor cost for removing and replacing a transmission is from $200 to $250. | |

I HAVE A 2000 BLAZER 4X4 2 DOOR ZR2. I JUST REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. IT WORKED GOOD FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. WAS DRIVING IT DOWN THE ROAD PUSHED ON THE GAS TO PASS SOMEONE AND IT JUST STOPPED. THE TRANSMISSION WONT GO INTO GEAR NOW. POSSIBLE PROBLEMS? 2 hours ago - 4 days left to answer. Additional Details ITS THE AUTOMATIC 4L60E 2 hours ago WHEN I SHIFT IT THE LEVER MOVES INTO ALL THE GEARS BUT WHEN ITS IN GEAR IT DOESNT GO ANYWHERE. 2 hours ago AFTER I INSTALLED THE TRANSMISSION, I DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 20 MILES, IT SHIFTED REALLY GOOD, SMOOTH. AND THEN I STOPPED, AND DROVE ABOUT A BLOCK WENT TO PASS SOMEONE, AND THE TRANSMISSION JUST STOPPED. I PARKED, TRIED ALL THE GEARS BUT NOTHING. I LOOKED UNDERNEATH, I SEE THE FLYWHEEL AND TORGUE CONVERTER TURNING CHECKED FLUID LEVEL, SHIFTS INTO ALL THE GEARS BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. 1 hour ago WENT OUT DISCONNECTED BATTERY FOR TEN MINUTES STIL DOES SAME THING, ALSO CHECKED TO SEE IF FLUID IS GOING THROUGH THE TOP LINE INTO THE RADIATOR, NO FLUID BEING PUMPED... ANY IDEAS???? PLEASE HELP |

I have a 1997 Blazer the started shifting weird about 2 weeks ago and had a weird vibration starting off and slowing down and finally wouldn't move past 2nd gear. I have up to aprox. 25MPH and then it just slips can keep it barely moving if you run at a high rpm. If I stop and start again I can get up to 25 mph and then it goes again. After this started transmission fluid was really low but there is no leak anywhere on the ground. Reverse is fine. Prior to this happening (for a few months before) we heard a hissing noise but we find no leaks of vacuum or fluid. Any help is really appreciated. Thank you TCC was replaced still no luck. It is the 4L60E transmission. |

| I have a 98 Blazer and it was parked for about 8 months when I parked it everything was fine. Now when I drive it, the transmission shifts through all of the gears and when it gets to overdrive it shifts in and out constantly and the tachometer jumps all over the place from 1400-2100 RPM at 50-55 mph. I checked the tranny fluid it is full I don't know if this tranny, 4L60E has an electrical lockup converter or what, or am I looking at replacing the tranny. the Blazer has 163,000 and runs great. any help or ideas would really be appreciated, thanks. | |

| Hello, I have a 1997 S-10 blazer, 4.3 v/6. I have had it a couple of months, the mileage is just over 163,000. The tranny has been shifting fine but this morning the check engine light came on and the tranny did not want to down shift back into first gear. I could manually shift fine. I talked to the guy I got it from and he said it had done the same thing. He changed the fluid and filter less than 1500 miles ago. It then sat for about 6 months and the battery was dead when I bought it from him. I read the other forums and disconnected the battery and let set for about 30 minutes. The check engine light is gone and it shifts great. I would like to know what I can do to prevent this happening again. Thanks, Ricky | |
